DIY Halloween Costume Confession: Dark & Sexy Nun!

I have a confession... It's my favorite time of year again and I absolutely cannot wait for Halloween! I've been rolling up my sleeves and getting to work on my DIY costume ideas for this year's bashes and I think you are going to love these fun, easy, unique, and inexpensive costume ideas I have for you. Today, I want to share with you a costume I am so excited to rock. So, if you are ready for a killer dark and sex costume that won't break the bank, keep on reading!

This year for Halloween I knew I wanted to combine dark and sexy into one costume so I turned to my fashion inspiration, Courtney Sixx. Her nun costume from last year was to die for! I knew this was the one! So without further adieu, here's what you will need in order to create this dark, sexy nun costume.

Dress with lace sleeves - The great thing about this dress is that you can wear it for other occasions besides Halloween!

Thigh high fishnet stockings

Pearl necklace - I picked up 3 to get the layered effect.

Gold cross necklace

Black veil & white headband - Detach the veil from the floral headpiece and glue onto any inexpensive white headband from the drugstore.

Silk ribbon - Gently sew onto the top of your thigh highs, crisscross down, and tie on the side.

Black pumps - Any pair you have in your closet.

For makeup, go for the dark, sultry look. Use black eye shadow and faux lashes to create dramatic eyes. Feather blacks, grays, and deep purples under the eyes to create an undead look. Use Nyx's High Voltage Lipstick in Dahlia (perfect almost-black red) to tie the whole look together.

Hope you love this unique and easy DIY sexy nun costume as much as I do. Keep an eye out for more costume ideas that are on the way!
